Me and my brother purchased a renovated Georgian property in Blackburn. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Blackburn

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Blackburn conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.

My husband and I may need to sub-let our Blackburn ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Blackburn conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Blackburn do not prevent subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.

With only 63 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £16,200 and £18,600 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
